FINALLY -- I'M SO HAPPY THAT QUINCY IS A PARTICIPATING SITE IN THE CAMBRIDGE SCIENCE FESTIVAL, TOO, THIS YEAR:
QUINCY COLLEGE HAS A NEW
"BIOTECHNOLOGY AND COMPLIANCE PROGRAM"
SAVILLE HALL IS THE LOCATION OF ITS STATE-OF-THE-ART BIOTECHNOLOGY LABORATORY.
ON TUESDAY, APRIL 22, FROM 1:30-3:30 IT WILL HOST AN OPEN HOUSE AND TOURS.
The April 5 edition of The Patriot Ledger had an article on this. You can also read the article online and view three short videos about the lab, the teacher, and the students.
(I hope this event in Quincy is the first of many in future years.)

Hope to see you all there!
